The Shake Up!

• San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom continues to shake things up, ordering police investigators to put on uniforms and patrol streets at night to help combat the city's escalating violence.
  
  Police officials say an unspecified number of officers from the department's narcotics and gang task force units have been reassigned to beef up patrol units in high crime areas.
  
  The move comes after San Francisco reported 98 homicides last year, the most in a dozen years. Six people have been killed in the city so far this year.
  
  A spokesman for the mayor says, Gavin’s upset with the homicide rate and wants more done to reduce violent crime.
  
  Great news!

Newsom To Tie The Knot

Nope. Not the knot of his signature blue tie. Rather, he opted on getting laid in Hawaii.

Yep. San Francisco’s Hello/Goodbye Mayor, Gavin Newsom, said Aloha to his girlfriend (and the ladies) when he proposed during his vacation to actress Jennifer Siebel.

It will be Siebel's first marriage and the second for Newsom, whose four-year marriage to legal analyst Kimberly Guilfoyle ended in divorce in March 2006 (Guilfoyle hosts "The Line Up" and serves as a legal analyst for FOX News).

Siebel, who lives in Los Angeles, began dating Newsom prior to his public admission to having an affair with his campaign manager's wife and a drinking problem.

A Marin County native and Stanford University graduate, Siebel, 33, currently has a recurring guest spot on the NBC police drama "Life." She also appears in the film “In the Valley of Elah” (2007), an Iraq War drama costarring Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Theron.

In an interview published in the Nob Hill Gazette in November, Siebel was asked if she and Newsom ever discussed about what life would be like if she were married to the mayor.

"People do mention the 'first lady' thing to me and it makes me sort of shy. But yes, we've talked about it. And joked about it, too. We both care about creating a normal, balanced life that includes family."

I’m thinkin’ that Newsom’s doomed to a brood of adorable little girls, like Casey at bat, ultimately breaking his heart when his daughter dates the captain of the chess team – Chris Daly’s son!
